Hi Alice, I'm Argentine and I'm studying English on my own. The problem I have is that I cannot speak with many native English speakers. I find it hard to find committed language exchange partners. I have a good listening comprehension but I am not so good at talking. I would like to meet someone with whom to talk about different topics. I agree with you, since it is not necessary to live in the country where people speak their learning language to learn their language, but it could be easier. Thank you!
